Rothfield sticks it to Roosters again.

[Guest]

FORMER Great Britain halfback Bobbie Goulding has confirmed one of league's worst-kept secrets - that the Roosters once paid players cash in brown paper bags. And he's gone a step further, claiming he received cash from legendary Roosters coach, the late Jack Gibson in 1991. "Jack used to meet me in a silver 4WD in Randwick and give me my wages in a brown paper bag," Goulding told Rugby League Week.

The irony is the Roosters still employ recruitment boss Peter O'Sullivan, who was in the thick of the Melbourne Storm salary-cap scandal.

It's getting quite boring with Rothfield can't wait till we pump his beloved 46 yr old virgin gummy Sharks.

And the other worst kept secret is that the Roosters weren't alone but that seemingly isn't worth printing as it doesn't further slothfill's agenda.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Hahaha. What a twit Rothfield is.

[roorooman]

Tell rothfield that there was no salary cap in those days so not sure what the big deal of paper bag payment were.

Did Bobbie Goulding play with us in 1991?
He is not on any club lists as playing,and he has not been given a player number...

[TDK]

Slanderous and defamatory, big Jack isn't here to defend himself, and Goulding could be telling porkies.

[Ray Stehr]

Goulding trashed his accommodation before he went back to England. Did he even play a game? He certainly didn't make an impression on the field. Maybe there was soap in the paper bag?

[Newcroosters]

And what has Peter osullivan got to do with that, rothwit has to be very close to crossing the line where legal action could result one thinks..

LOL@BUZZ.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel now, Phil.

Desperate is the word that comes to mind.

Some may call you journalist....I would prefer to call you a cove.


Hope you enjoy seeing us rip it up this year

What a joke that article is. Twenty-two years ago?? Is that the best he can do?? Notice he doesn't leave room for comments at the bottom of his article! I wonder why! Bobby Goulding has a long track record of drunkenness, off-field violence and bizarre behaviour. He couldn't make the grade at Easts and had his contract torn up after he allegedly trashed a hotel room. Maybe he's still got an axe to grind after all these years. Has Rothfield EVER written about the large number of quality players the Roosters have had to let go because of the salary cap? You'd think he would at least be grateful to the Roosters for giving his trophy-less team the best five-eighth in the game.

Bobby Goulding is such a fine upstanding pillar of society Anything he says has to be true
